Bradley Cooper has admitted that he is concerned about the box office potential for The Hangover Part II.
The sequel – opening in cinemas this May – follows on from 2009′s comedy blockbuster, which grossed more than $450 million in ticket sales worldwide.
“As we inch closer to release, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t trepidatious,” Cooper told the Los Angeles Times of the Thailand-set follow-up.
However, the Limitless star believes that Part II has the potential to top the first movie, adding: “The script was better than the first one. The scope is larger. [Shooting it] went smoother than it did the first time in terms of letting spontaneous moments happen. And Bangkok is like Vegas on steroids.”
Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, Zach Galifianakis and Mike Tyson will return for The Hangover Part II, joined by new castmembers Liam Neeson, Paul Giamatti and Jamie Chung.

When pregnant actress Alexis Knapp announced that she was carrying Ryan Phillippe’s child at a Hollywood bash in mid-February, it was a complete shock to everyone — including the alleged dad-to-be!
A source tells the new Us Weekly that Phillippe (who wasn’t present at the bash) was blindsided when he heard second-hand about Knapp’s very public bombshell. “Alexis hadn’t even talked to Ryan before that party,” a second source says.
As UsMagazine.com first reported on Monday, the Lincoln Lawyer actor, 36, “doesn’t know if he’s the father,” the first source says, but plans to take a paternity test. (He and Knapp dated on and off for several months before calling it quits in September 2010.)
“If it’s his, he’ll take responsibility.”
One gal in his corner? His ex-wife and mom to his children, Reese Witherspoon!
“Reese has been really supportive,” the first source says. “She knows that Ryan is a good dad [to Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7] and she respects that.”
Last Thursday, reps for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel said the pair “mutually have decided to part ways.” The harsh truth: Timberlake, 30, “had been aggressively trying to end things” with the actress, 29, since the Golden Globes Jan. 16, one source close to the singer tells the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.
What’s more, the pal adds, “he hasn’t been happy with Jessica for close to two years.” (The couple got together in January 2007, shortly after Timberlake’s split from Cameron Diaz.)
“You’d be surprised at how soon the love was lost on this one,” the friend continues. “Justin said he was miserable.”
Timberlake finally fessed up to his feelings about the relationship shortly after his Jan. 31 birthday. “He just said he didn’t want to marry her and it didn’t feel right,” another source says. Biel, the source says, was blindsided. “It just stung her in the heart.”
But even in that final “talk,” Timberlake didn’t come clean about his rampant affairs with other women (including actress Olivia Munn, among others.) “He didn’t admit the cheating, even though we all knew it,” the insider says.
There’s another baby on board for one of the teens on Teen Mom 2. Megan Nelson, 18, who has appeared on the hit reality show as best friend and former roommate to star Chelsea Houska, is pregnant and expecting a son on July 7, Life & Style has learned.
Megan, a native of Sioux Falls, S.D., witnessed firsthand how best friend Chelsea, 19, struggled with teen pregnancy. But now Megan, who’s expecting with her boyfriend of only four months, is publicly sharing her journey on her Facebook fan page and twitter. “I’ve always wanted a boy first,” she recently gushed to her 6,643 Twitter followers.
Megan is thriving in the spotlight, but MTV says she will not become a series regular and friend Danielle Jamie agrees. “Megan does not want to be on Teen Mom or any other reality TV show,” her friend Danielle Jamie tells Life & Style. “She wants the baby to live a normal life. She’s nervous and excited about being a mother. Chelsea was shocked — but she’s excited for Megan too.”
Still, Chelsea, mom to 18-month-old Aubree, had hoped her stints on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2 would be cautionary tales, but Megan is now the third of Chelsea’s friends to become a teen mother. “Having a baby is really lifechanging,” says Chelsea, who preaches about the importance of birth control. “Wait till you’re married and have a stable career to bring a baby into the mix.”
Singer and rap scene legend Nate Dogg has passed away at 41 after years of deteriorating health. Exact cause of death is unkown, although the rapper had suffered two massive strokes in recent years. One in 2007 that left him partially paralyzed and one in 2008.
Having begun singing at a young age in church, he formed the group 213 with Snoop Dogg and Warren G in 1991, setting in place what would be a prolific career.
Making his debut on Dr. Dre’s album The Chronic, Nate Dogg worked with big west coast artists such as Tupac (notably on the song “How Long Will They Mourn Me” on the album Thug Life: Volume 1), and released four of his own albums, including the highly successful Music & Me. He was nominated for four Grammys for collaborations with big artists, as well, including Eminem, Ludacris and Warren G.
